Sailor charged
PA Auckland Detectives last evening arrested a man at Auckland Airport and charged him with the murder of the seaman who disappeared from the container ship Aotea off Japan last week. The arrested man, a fellow seaman, aged 36, arrived by air from Japan in the company of two Auckland detectives who had flown to Japan on Tuesday. They had been asked to investigate the disappearance at sea of Francis George Jacobson,
aged 35, of Christchurch, an engine-room storekeeper in the Aotea. The arrested man will appear in the Magistrate’s Court at Auckland today charged with the murder of Mr Jacobson.
